With all available hands on deck Sunday, the Aeros lineup resembled one of those B Games often found on the back fields at Goodyear, Ariz., midway through a long Indians spring training.

A majority of the young players are up-and-comers in the Tribe’s minor league system, but haven’t become household names yet. They’re just guys wearing their teams’ jerseys looking to make a name for themselves.

Key situation: Jordan Henry’s double off his brother’s glove, Erie leftfielder Justin Henry, in the bottom of the eighth allowed two runs to score and helped end the Aeros’ four-game losing streak. Justin Henry dove for the soft, looping shot to the shallow, left-centerfield gap but could not come up with the ball.

Key situation: Trenton Thunder starting pitcher Manny Banuelos controlled the Akron Aeros offense with 6 1/3 innings of one-run baseball. He gave up five hits, struck out five and walked three. The lone run was a solo home run by Akron third baseman Kyle Bellows in the seventh inning.

Key situation: The Aeros imploded in the top of the sixth. The pitching staff walked three batters in the inning and allowed six hits. And an error allowed tow more runs to score. In all, the Thunder sent 12 batters to the plate and scored seven runs in the inning.

Quick hits: Brutal game that lasted about three and a half hours. Lost of walks, errors and bad baseball... Aeros starter Drew Pomeranz seemed to struggle a bit with getting ahead of hitters, a problem that has plagued him in his three starts at Akron. He pitched 4 (one third) innings and allowed four hits and two earned runs. He walked three and struck out six…Trenton tried to utilize its switch pitcher, Pat Venditte, in the bottom of the fifth inning and the Aeros made him pay from both sides. Venditte, who throws with both hands, gave up back-to-back RBI doubles to left-handed hitter Raul Padron and right-handed hitter Kyle Bellows, and a sacrifice fly to catcher Chun Chen, as part of a four-run fifth inning before giving the lead away in the next inning…Chen and Bellows each finished with two RBI.

Indians left-handed pitching prospect Drew Pomeranz was solid in his Canal Park debut Wednesday afternoon in the sweltering heat, but not good enough to get his first Double-A win.

The Tribe's fourth-best prospect according to Baseball America entering the season, limited visiting Altoona to just one run on three hits in five innings of work. But the Areos offense managed only three hits in a 4-0 shutout by the Curve, keeping Akron from clinching a three-game sweep.

Key Situation: Aeros 1B Beau Mills, the reigning Eastern League and Indians Minor League Player of the Week, continued his hot hitting. Mill‘s three-run home run powered the Aeros offense to a break-out, four-run fifth inning as the host batted around against Altoona starter and RHP Mike Colla, sending the right hander to the loss.

LHP DREW POMERANZ, the Indians’ first-round selection (fifth overall) in the 2010 draft, has been promoted to Double-A Akron and is expected to join the Aeros after the Eastern League All-Star break on Thursday for a four-game trip to Harrisburg.

The Aeros return home to Canal Park Monday for a quick thre-game series against Altoona.

Key Situation:DH Beau Mills got the Aeros on the board with a two-run home run in the third inning…Mills was also part of a three-run rally in the fifth inning, as the Aeros used four hits to go up 5-0...Erie broke up the shutout with three runs in the sixth against Aeros starter and RHP Joe Gardner, but he still went on to earn the win.

Key situation:The SeaWolves scored three runs in each of the sixth, seventh and eighth innings to snap a six-game losing streak and a 10-game road losing streak. The Aeros didn’t help themselves with two errors, both on double play balls in the seventh and eighth innings.

The Akron Aeros will play the third game of a four game series With Erie this afternoon at Canal Park. The Aeros have won the first two games of the series and are currently on a three-game winning streak. The SeaWolves have lost six consecutive games and 10 consecutive road games. Their last victory came against the Aeros on July 3.

Key situation: A six-run sixth inning brought the Aeros back from two down and led them to their third consecutive victory and Erie’s sixth consecutive loss. Raul Padron and Ben Copeland each had two-run doubles in the inning. Chun Chen and Karexon Sanchez added RBI singles in the inning.

Aeros LHP T.J. McFarland was named Eastern League Pitcher of the Week for the period of June 27th through July 3rd.

The 22 year-old native of Palos Hills, Ill., began the week with a strong start against visiting Bowie, limiting the Baysox to just one hit and an unearned run while striking out five over six innings. McFarland improved to 4-4 with the win, helping cap a 6-0 homestand sweep by Akron.
